Non-woven fabric has a loutish texture that feels like paper. This fabric is cost-effective and has the ability to add moisture to skin. The non-woven fabric segment has witnessed steady growth due to quick drying property and lack of sticking capacity. Cotton fabric sheet face masks are made of microfibers, which allow the oil to absorb other ingredients in the sheet. The cotton fabric segment held the largest market share in 2017 due to soft and breathable properties. Cotton fibers also have better absorption features. Hydrogel fabric is used in sheet face masks owing to its hydrophilic nature, which helps to hold high proportion of water in its three dimensional structure.

Bio-cellulose sheet masks are gaining popularity. The segment is expected to expand at the highest growth rate of 10.1% owing to the usage of natural ingredients in the product. The sheet face masks market has also been segmented into premium sheet face masks and mass sheet face masks. The mass sheet masks segment held larger market share in 2017. However, the premium sheet face masks segment is expected to capture larger share during the forecast period.
